The 1880 census lists my great-grandmother, Elka Rosenbaum, as living in
Wood with her several children. Her husband, Simon, died in NY in 1874. The
youngest child was in utero. We have never been able to identify the
“boarders” and assume a mistake was made identifying them. My ggm died in
1884 and is buried in NY. Some time after that the older brothers opened a
store in Hillsboro and they all moved there. My greatuncle, Isaac, always
claimed he was born in “Lickskillet, Panola County, TX”. My grandmother,
Ella, was born in 1872. Thank you for your help.
